Best best bestI have gone through 2 bottles and now using my third. My skin has never been better and I found out that the oil is best used right before moisturiser not after like the common sense.

Leaves my skin looking so smoothI've been using this product religiously since February and I love it, my skin is visibly smoother and plumper. Can't imagine not having this as part of my daily routine.

Good standbyI bought this recently after a long break from using it. It is so much lighter than other products and does an very job with older skins.

Loved this but then...Many of my friends said that this was a game changer and they use it religiously which led me to buy it. I used it for a few days and noticed my skin felt great however after a few more days passed I began to get a red patch to the side of my mouth. Having only added this product I suspected it may be due to the oil therefore I stopped using it for a few days and the patch went only to come back after trying to use again. A shame becasue I really wanted this to work for me. I have dry/slightly sensitive skin.

Use nothing else nowI’ve been using this for 4 years now and won’t use anything else at night. Perfect for my sensitive skin. But you don’t need a whole dropper full half us about right for my skin.

Would I use this and the hydro plumping serum?

Asked by: Help

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Our products are made to be layered and this can absolutely be used with our Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate. For best results use the Midnight Recovery first as it has a thinner consistency, this way both products will fully absorb. We hope you can give it a try!

Will this product make my skin sensitive to sun?

If I use this do I need to protect my skin with sunscreen? Will it make my skin sensitive to sunlight?
I am planing to use it in night as recommended but just wanted to make sure
Because lot of the serums contain vitamin c retinol or any thing that says radiant skin makes the skin look good but also makes skin sun sensitive .
So just wanted to know what&rsquo;s the deal with kheils midnight recovery concentrate.

Asked by: Latha

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our Midnight Recovery Concentrate! In just one night, our top-rated facial oil helps replenish skin for visibly smoother, more radiant skin by morning. This product will not cause sensitivity to the sun but sunscreen is always recommended in your morning routine!

I transferred my Midnight Recovery Concentrate into small clear glass bottles. Will it affect the product's performance being in a clear container?

Before or after moisturizer?

I&rsquo;ve been reading a lot about facial oils. Many articles say to apply facial oil after moisturizer to lock in the hydration, while other things say to apply oil before moisturizer.
I saw that this Kiehls oil says to go under a moisturizer, while another facial oil I saw says to go on after moisturizer. Which one is it? And why does kiehls say to go on before?
